what kind of buff "dispel magic" can remove ? i can't find a list , i only read that the mage bubble can be dispelled (but not iceblock) , wich other buff should we focus to remove in an arena fight ? and how can i see them (like with an addon if possible) without having to check their player profile ?

This part of the trinket talent text: " It is great for removing crowd control on you that your healer cannot dispel." seems out of place for a discipline priest pvp guide, as the discipline priest is the healer.

This might help, as well as the buff list that is linked:

Good catch, thanks! @Mysticall

It says  about the PvP talent Trinity "This is an overall large increase to your damage, which results in even more healing".

Isn't the incorrect? Trinity doesn't do anything about damage output.

I believe it is because you have to apply Atonement less frequently, meaning more freedom to DPS, but I'll check to make sure ?

Hey, I'd like to point out a few things for high rated arena. Note that these are all my opinions but I have seen them used against me by other discs in arena:

1) PW: Radiance is almost never used. You'll go oom in a matter of seconds and the heal doesn't justify the mana cost. When you get interrupted on shadow, either penance (if not on cd) or shield/reapply holy fire/smite.

2) If you use pain suppression when your "teammate is really low", it is already too late. You should use it beforehand when you anticipate damage. (ex. focused teammate in stun, enemy rogue pops vendetta, you are in CC or about to get CC'd etc). The earlier you apply it, the higher you'll keep your teammates up, keeping them out of execute range for many classes.

3) Power Word: Solace is worse in damage and mana return compared to Shadowfiend. Your globals are far too precious to use on this spell, whereas 1 global from shadowfiend will give the damage and mana even if you're occuppied/cc'ed/target in los.

4) Disc rarely plays spread pressure comps and they usually play setup comps. Dark Archangel is almost required.

5) Although you're right about finding a gcd for archangel, it will pump out way more healing than ultimate radiance, and when you need it. Usually after a burst on your teammate, you want him/her to use a small defensive until you can pop archangel and topping them away (hunter feign death/rogue feint etc)

6) Dome of light is incredibly powerful as it gives a 70% damage reduction with 2m CD. You can completely negate 2 offensives from enemy team.

7) More comp options: Thug Cleave (rogue/disc/hunter), KFChi (disc/ww/hunter)

Good day!

" It is important to note that it does not decrease damage done when you have  Atonement on yourself." 

this isnt quite right, the first application of atonement on anyone doesn't effect the reduction of Sins of the Many, not just when used on yourself.

Hi, I wanted to point out and inquire some input in regards to the mindbender/solace tier, as in the picture of the tree mindbender is checked while the text description recommends solace.  Can anyone provide insight on this?

Also, does anyone find themselves in situations where the purification PVP talent is more beneficial versus certain cleanse heavy match ups such as RMP? 

Thanks in advance ❤️

Starting of with the Talents, you have Mindbender selected and checked as the talent to use.. then further down you say to use Purge the Wicked that it's the best talent by far. These condescending examples are confusing.
